The first day on which benefit in the current benefit year may be exhausted is 16th April, for persons to whom the former "gap" of three weeks did not apply, and 7th May for others. If the hon. Member will renew his question in a fortnight's time I hope to be able to give him an estimate of the numbers likely to be affected.
